Lesson 2: Proper Registration

You must have a complete and accurate System for Award Management (SAM) Registration before you can win a federal contract and/or receive a federal grant. Completing the SAM Registration is free, but many small business owners prefer hiring a third-party government contracting firm to do it for them. Why? Because completing the Registration can take upward of 20 hours, and require you to review Registration rules, requirements, policies, and procedures. Hiring a third-party government contracting firm to complete your SAM Registration frees up your time, ensures your business has a complete and accurate SAM Registration, and frees you up to focus on running your business.
